Fact Check: Joe Biden Falsely Claims Border Patrol Agents Endorsed Him

CLAIM: President Joe Biden said the “Border Patrolmen endorsed” him for president in this year’s presidential election.

VERDICT: False. An official with the National Border Patrol Council, representing Border Patrol agents, said the union had not endorsed Biden and would “never” endorse him.


“By the way, the Border Patrolmen endorsed me, endorsed my position,” Biden said during Thursday evening’s debate.


This is false. The Border Patrol Council actually endorsed Trump in the 2020 presidential election. The Border Patrol Council posted on X immediately after Biden’s remark, stating:

To be clear, we never have and never will endorse Biden.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Here Biden "falsely claims" something but Trump still lies. :whistle:
